My husband and I were both widowed. We've been married five years and have five kids between us. We are expecting grand number 12 at the end of July. I am an RN and work at a Geri/Psych unit so I don't get to quilt as much as I'd like. I love Jenny's tutorials :)

Star Flower
When I learned how to quilt 30ish years ago we did a sampler quilt. I loved the Star Flower block and imagined making one in various colors to look like a field of flowers. It was long arm quilted by Susan Price.

Craftsy 2012 BOM
I decided to do the class because it was only two blocks a month. I used the Aunt Grace "Canning Day" FQ set. I fussy cut a piece of fabric I had with pigs playing. I work so it took me about two years to finish. It was longarm quilted by Susan Price. I like the way it came out.

Christmas Presents
I saw this tutorial that Jenny did and loved the pattern. I'll be sending it to a nearby longarm quilter.

Flower Garden Quilt
I used Jenny's Flower Garden Quilt made with " Lovely" charm packs, to create this quilt. It was quilted by a longarmer, since I don't have the skills to do a big project like this. It was a gift given to my brother in law and wife for their cottage. I made it in gratitude for their generous help and care and support during the illness and death of my 35 year old son from cancer, and a two year serious illness of my husband. They generously shared their cottage at anytime for my son to use during his illness. It was his favorite place to be. they were there for my husband and me whenever we needed anything. I love the colors of this quilt, and they work very well in the "shabby chic" decor of their cottage. They LOVED it, and it's one of my favorites! Thanks for looking!

Lemoyne Star
This quilt was made in response to a Project Quilting challenge in 2014. PQ challenge prompts are given on Sunday and the finished quilt has to be posted by the following Sunday. One week to make a quilt. The challenge was across the sky. I decided to use a variety of blue prints from my stash to make the big stars. The quilt is 72x72 inches. It is hand quilted with perle cotton. (Yes, in one week. Really! It is what the quilt demanded and when the quilt speaks...) You can read the whole story on my blog http://twasbrilligand.blogspot.com/2014/02/pq-54-lemoyne-star.html

Dresden plate
Just love the tutorial on the Dresden plate. I went to Jenny trunk show in Syracuse NY and fell in love with the material. Made this for Mom for Christmas

Double Wedding ring
My husband loves the double wedding ring pattern. This is the second one I made and enjoyed the process on this one so much more than the first one. Plan on making another one that will be for a twin bed.

The Ribbon Box Quilt
I made this RIBBON BOX QUILT, by Cloud9 Fabrics for my new granddaughter. Her mom requested mint green, peach and gray colors. I added a touch of yellow. There are no "blocks" in this pattern. It's made by creating rows, piece by piece, with no borders. The straight line quilting was done by a LQS because I'm still not the best at FMQ on my domestic machine. It was definitely one of my favorites...so much fun to create!

Scrappy Squares a la Bonni K Hunter
I started making the scrappy squares using a free pattern from Bonni K Hunter @http://quiltville.com/. When I put them together, however, the quilt was too busy for my liking, so the squares just sat. One day I decided to raid my stash and see what the squares would look like interspersed with plain squares, and voila! I could use all the squares I had made in various colors and fabric from my stash and have a smallish throw for my MIL, whose favorite color is blue. Again, this was machine quilted on my home sewing machine.

Elephant
My step-mother collects elephants, so I made her this wallhanging of an elephant. I am taking it to Arkansas in September and hope she likes it. I can't remember the name of the pattern, but I reduced it to about half the size of the original and used my own fabrics in her favorite colors.

Paint By Number Bargello
I just finished this bargello last night, all I have to do is quilt it and bind it. Only problem, is my favorite quilt shop where I rented a long arm is closing August 8th. I'm so sad. What shall I do to quilt it? I know, purchase my own long arm machine!! My husband just smiles. I did this entire quilt top in my motorhome, on the road for the summer. I am so happy. I've finally figured out how to cut, sew, iron, and piece in my motorhome without a lot of problems. Yay. Thank you for looking.

Batik Stars
I've been holding on to about 200 5" squares of this gorgeous batik fabric. mostly because I couldn't bare to cut it up. But then I saw this pattern on Pinterest and knew it was perfect for this fabric.
